Bachelor of Education in Adult Education


Brock’s Bachelor of Education (BEd) in Adult Education is the only program in Ontario to offer first degree and subsequent degree options.

The program consists of 15 credits which include five credits in Adult Education. These five education credits form the core of the Brock BEd in Adult Education program. The remaining 10 credits must be undergraduate courses from an accredited university as recognized by the Office of the Registrar of Brock University. A system of Advanced Standing may provide some elective or context credit for previous academic work as demonstrated by original transcripts by the colleges or universities you may have previously attended.

During the BEd ADED program, undergraduate courses must be taken at Brock University or on a Letter of Permission. The Office of the Registrar will make the final decision on transfer courses.

Please refer to the Program Description for further information on program entry criteria and course outlines.

Courses are taken on a part-time basis, in sequence, one course per session. It requires five sessions of study to complete the five courses in Adult Education. There are three sessions in each calendar year: Fall, Winter and Spring. Each is a full university undergraduate credit course of 72 hours in duration.
 
The Adult Education courses are offered online or face-to-face at venues across the province.
 
Online groups follow the same semester system, meeting a-synchronously on the SAKAI-based LMS, Isaak. Classroom-based learning is offered at a variety of locations throughout the province of Ontario with groups typically meeting full-days on Saturdays.
